Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Fort Simpson Health Centre is on the books for something that we still need to do. We’ve done the functional review; we’re still in the middle of doing the planning assessment. I’ve had a number of conversations with the Member as well as the community about this building and I’m committed to having some of our staff come into the community to meet and talk about their concerns, location being one of their concerns, but also the building itself.
We have some prototypical designs that were prepared in the 16th Assembly and shared with
Members at the time, talking about the different types of facilities, and the facility in Simpson would be a B/C type facility. So there are certain programs and space requirements and technical requirements that must be in the building. Those are things that we ensure in the building.
So although there is a prototypical design, we do appreciate the opportunity to make some tweaks, some minor modifications to accommodate some of the community desires, needs and whatnot.
We are continuing to move forward. I would like Perry just to quickly talk a little bit about some of the results of the planning study and some of the additional assessment that was happening on that building and then we can come to me for a little bit more. So, if you don’t mind, Mr. Chair, go to Perry.
